Fabulous professional friendly accommodating great prices wouldn't go anywhere else
in the last week
I really don't like to write negative reviews but I feel I must in this case. I had heard a lot of good things about this vet so decided to bring my puppy here. His first injection was done by the breeder, and I had his second injection done at Swinfen vets. He was weighed (for worming tablets) and was given his second injection. I was a little concerned that he wasn't given a check-up but I thought the vet probably thought this was done when he had his 1st injection. Took him back a couple months later for more worming tablets and his six monthly check-up, He was weighed for his worming tablets. The vet kept calling my puppy she (he's a boy), he checked his teeth, asked me if he was eating well, any signs of diarrhoea and I think he felt his body. He didn't check his eyes, ears, heart, micro chip, check his balls had dropped or check his bum/anal glands. I walked out feeling a little shocked and ripped off. Sorry, will not be going back again. I will add they are very friendly and welcoming.

The service was second to non. The vet was very tentative and gave Barkley a thourgh examination explaining everything as he went along and reassured us there wasn't anything seriously wrong with him. After handing us the medication, the vet said if we are still concerned after the 10 day course to go back and he would give another course of tablets. Thank you for putting our minds at rest that Barkley should be fine.

I was recommended Swinfen by my nephew, and I was not disappointed. Don and his wife are so lovely. You feel it's much more one on one service, which you dont find in the big practices.. They looked after my dog wonderfully, and the operation went well. Thank you both.

Only been here for a few months and all I can say is this Vet knows his stuff , after having bad experience else where I was recommended to use Don his not your normal talk down to you vet his friendly an very knowledgeable in all breeds , one thing that stood out was that he used to work with Tom Bingham which was definitely a big ✔️ from me . Prices are reasonable but most of all he cares for your pet an you. Highly recommended

My poor dog Spike had turned in eyelids when I first visited Swinfen vets. After my first consultation I decided to go ahead. Don the vet did a fantastic job, after 10 days in the collar of shame spike was as good as new and very happy. I would totally recommend this vet. 5 stars.
